Also Carlos rides for Norman thats why hes on all of Laras horses.

Knew I'd be hearing from ya. I used B-Level as a compliment, comparing to the Pletchers, Frankels etc, who ply the large money tracks. 2 Qs, does Lara work for Normans and if/when is he coming back?

Heard Norman is out with a 6 month suspension

AG - DRF's home page has Normans charged with manslaughter. "Clear up some problems" I'll say.
Win, lose or draw, he's probably finished. It's only my opinion, but the only way I would look at Lara now is if an agent gets a named rider or a "bug" on a front runner for him. Would you leave your stock with him?

Norman hit an old lady when he fell asleep at the wheel. The lady was killed and thats why they are charging him with manslaughter. He did have some drugs in his system but i think they were prescription drugs.


Trust me Lara is doing the same things Norman wants him to do. Norman is in contact with Lara every day. Things are being run the way Norman wants it. They arent missing a beat. Go back and check Laras record at Oaklawn.

Laras record at Oaklawn


102 starts

22 wins

19 seconds

10 thirds

50% ITM


Looks like Normans record if he was training..

[danmurphy jr]

7 Mounts today-2 George prepped-1 bad post. Would probably need 3 winners to break even at these prices. Guys(Ageecee) who do this for a living would probably P/S bet.
Seinfeld: "You mean, my horse comes in 1st-2nd or 3rd and I still get paid?" Might have been Costanza

 

[danmurphy jr]

Paid for the Oats yesterday with 3 relative chalk 1sts. Should be the same today - 7 mounts, no scratches

Hes going to be on the favorites a lot due to a shortage of jocks at La Downs. Hes one of the better jocks there so he will command the better horses and as we all know the favorites only win about 25% of the time

Based on Ageecee's accurate assessment and
Carlos consistently gets chalk and needs 2-3 wins per day
it's time to look for a new rookie. Leparoux,
Maragh and Talamo are gone.
